Ahead of the game: Ruffling the Robins' feathers

The Royals will be looking to make it five straight wins in the league and six in a row against Saturday's visitors Bristol City when the two sides meet at 3pm on Saturday afternoon at Madejski Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship.

Bristol City sit 10th in the league table with 17 points to their name so far this campaign. They will be coming to Berkshire looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats as they bid to close the gap between themselves and the top six.

Despite their recent form the Robins have picked up a few notable results on the road so far in 2016/17, including a 4-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage in late September.
